High oil temp
 
Just put the stage two Whipples on my merc 525s and oil temperature is running up to 220. Cannot figure out what’s causing it.
please help

220 I dont think is considered high.. I added oil thermostats so my oil would run 220*. Anything less and I don't think you will burn off any condensation.

This ^ as 220f in of itself is perfectly fine for an oil temp.

for what it is worth

Oil temps go up with load / rpm. 220F at idle would be high. 220F under sustained load is fine.

30*f not bad for 200+hp increase. HP is heat. And again 220*f for max oil temp is tony the tiger grrrrrreeeeeeaaaaat.
